Not sure by your pics but are saying you're only gonna have 4' for projector throw?

Yes. That would be the plan. Projector positioned underneath the bumper of the truck projecting to a wall 4 feet away. Too short for even a short throw projector?
I have no specific purpose (e.g. what to project and the size of what to project) - just wanted to play around and that looked like the best place to stick it. From previous post I'm guessing it's going to get complicated but was hoping somebody would suggest something with enthusiasm, I get it, and if it don't work I can just blame it on the recommendation and hold myself harmless : - )

I got a cheap 3000 Lumens "suppose to do everything" projector on
EBay (item number 281847260664) to play around with (number 13 on the list).
Expectations are low. Wish me luck.

Something is terribly wrong with my brain. I just packed up the last of 2015, already have
a project list too big to finish, promised the wife to finish the bathroom remodels, and
now decide to play with projectors!!!!!

As always I'm ready to call it quits, watch the videos, and get all pumped up again : - )

..... and the cops stopping by too.........

The off duty officer that was directing traffic called his buddies. I'm not sure what the Ten Code is for "scare in progress". They got a another call almost immediately. The way they took off I assume the call was to a better haunt : - )

The $167 projector arrived and I was blown away by what it would play from a thumb drive. The directions were lacking (it pretty much had an arrow pointing to the projector with a caption that said projector) but it didn't take long to click enough buttons to get it to do stuff. As reported by others, I was a little naïve about the distance of the throw. My guess is that the projector at the office has better optics that allows for a much broader throw range and might be why it cost thousands of dollars. Anyway I got the roaches and pumpkins from AtmosFX watched for hours and am completely hooked. It's 3AM and I'm headed outside with an extension cord and an off-white silk bed sheet (don't tell the wife) to see what it looks like. I'm pretty sure it complies with the no power tools before dawn restraining order.
